About Me

I am an assistant professor of operations management at Foster School of Business in University of Washington.

My research interests include: supply chain management, coordination mechanisms in supply chains, and applications in healthcare delivery and public health policy.

I received my PhD in operations research from MIT in August 2008, under the supervision of Professor David Simchi-Levi. In June 2003, I received a BS in industrial engineering from Sharif University in Iran.
